Re: Can this marriage survive?

You have some major problems less than 6 months into your marriage! These issues seem to be very basic ones that really should have been resolved before you decided to get married. Having not resolved them, they need to be resolved before you do anything further. Maybe I'm getting the wrong vibrations; however, it seems to me that your husband is trying to dictate some terms that you are not really happy with. If that is the case, and you go along with him, you may be facing potential disaster if things do not go the way he wants them to go down the road. You need to immediately seek the advice of an attorney to protect your interests. This is especially important in light of the fact that you have a daughter to protect. I will be happy to assist you if you call me at 856-546-8010. Mention LawGuru and your first consultation is free. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
